| The Castle 2005 La Belle Rosé is produced using fruit from
Annadel Estate Vineyard located in Sonoma Valley. This
vineyard is focused on Pinot Noir and Syrah as well as other
Rhone varietals. The La Belle Rosé shows a rich hue of orange/rose
color at its core and fades to a violet/rose color at the
rim. On the nose, there is distinct aromas of raspberry, red
currants and cranberry along with floral/violets. In the
mouth the flavors follow the nose nicely while the lively
acidity and fine tannins support the ample body. This is a
wonderfully rich Rose that parts with a lengthy finish and
will certainly make a Rosé lover smile! |
